This is an Angelina Ballerina / Tap introduction to basic ballet barre and tap work. A fun and engaging classical ballet class that teaches barre work and coordination.

Classical Ballet

Classes range from one hour to four hours a week for the dedicated ballet dancer. Barre work, coordination, strength and development

is taught at the students progression. Students do not, necessarily, advance to the next level at the end of the year. We believe in

challenging the student but we take extra care in their development and physical maturity when it comes to advancing in classical ballet.

Pointe

Pointe work is an exciting and essential part of a ballet student's training. This class is by invitation only. The student is evaluated on

their ability. Three hours of ballet a week and additional hour of pointe class.

Variations

This class is for advanced students. It involves pointe technique as well as the classic ballet variations and styles.

Musical Theatre Production

This class is designed for the student who inspires to do Broadway! Songs will be taught as a group and a dance will follow.

Broadway hit shows such as Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and Rent are just a taste of the exciting numbers in this class!

Jazz

Throughout its history jazz dance has developed parallel to popular music. As big bands and dance halls were declining, jazz dance

followed less jazz music and leaned more toward rock and roll. Syncopated rhythm, isolations, low center of gravity and a high level of

energy are important identifying characteristics of jazz dance. Other elements of jazz dance are less common and are the stylizations

of their respective choreographers. One such example are the inverted limbs and hunched-over posture of Bob Fosse.

Acrobatics

is the performance of extraordinary feats of balance, agility, and motor coordination. It can be found in many of the performing arts as

well as in many sports. Acrobatics is most often associated with activities that make extensive use of gymnastic elements such as

acro-dance, circus, and gymnastics. Many other athletic activities, such as ballet , employ acrobatics.

Hip Hop

Popular for every age group and level. This is a high energy class which teaches strong motions and pop. Hip Hop synchs appropriate

music and movements. This class consists of warm-ups, across the floor moves and popular dance moves.

LyricalA fusion of the ballet and jazz dance styles. Lyrical dance aims to interpret the accompanying music in an emotionally expressive way.

The dancers' movements attempt to illustrate the actual meaning and emotion communicated in the song.

Tap

From the classic Randy Skinner (Fred Astaire style) to hoofers. This class explores the rhythms and language of sound with our feet.

Students dance from low flat shoes to heels as they advance. This gives them the flexibility to be a versatile and marketable dancer.

Modern

Focuses on creative self-expression rather than on the technical virtuosity. Modern dance is more relaxed, free style of dance in which choreographers use emotions and moods to design their own steps (in contrast to ballet's structured code of step).
